SRC Reveal: Sun-Dried Tomato, Feta, & Farro Salad

I love her description of herself: "Librarian by day, blogger by night, and author of The
Everything Kosher Slowcooker Cookbook." And, though I am not kosher, I really love her tag line: "Proving 'kosher' and 'delicious' are not mutually exclusive."

I don't have a slow cooker or I would have picked up a copy immediately. In case you want a copy, I'm including an affiliate link at the bottom of this post.

I considered making her Israeli Beet Dip because I've been on the hunt to make a garbanzo bean-free hummus kinda dip. My little one is allergic to garbanzo beans and loves hummus. I thought about her Lion's Head Meatballs because that is a family favorite. Here's my Enthusiastic Kitchen Elf's version: Lion's Head Soup. I always chuckle at his caveat whenever we serve it - "don't worry, there's no actually lion in the soup!" Her Blackberry Salad looked so fresh and seasonal, but we didn't have time to head to Gizdich to pick any. Once the weather turns colder, I am going to try her Cholent.

But, for this month's SRC reveal, I decided to make Dena's Sun-Dried Tomato, Feta, & Farro Salad. Serendipitously, I had ordered some grains from Bob's Red Mill last month and hadn't done anything with the farro. Then...I found Dena's recipe. Serendipity!

Camilla, it was very gracious of you to include the link to my book ... thanks! I like farro, and I'm glad you finally found an excuse to use it. Even relatively plain, farro is great, served hot with a little butter melted on it.

Just about any occasion sends me to the kitchen to create. My pots and pans are my culinary canvas. I cook dinners for friends' birthdays, for holidays, and three times a day for my family.

My hope is that my descriptions and photos will inspire you to get out to the farmers markets or down an aisle at the grocery store that intimidates you, try some new ingredients, and get crazy with the herbs and spices! Buon appetito!
